Lea has been a recipient of a teacher Fulbright to Japan and spent three weeks in Africa visiting Ghanaian schools and villages, in both cases studying their culture and educational system. Lea is a professional artist creating contemporary prints and paper pulp paintings. Her art is a colorful web where solid shapes and varied lines interact to keep the viewer engaged in a playful myriad of palpable textures and moods. Lea’s artwork is often a reaction to the world around her. The frenetic mark elements are the conversations, the emotions, and the words that are not meant to be heard. Following her move to the Northwest, the “sacred role of trees” has recently inspired her artwork.
